WO NO1NLQ ORT THE DECEASED'S e of t e most dIfficutt tasks a recent widow or widower must face is sorting the departed spouse's belongings. Although a will often speci- fies that some articles should be given to friends and relatives, usual- ly many items remain unmentioned. It is tempting, in the difficult months following the death of a spouse, to let one's children or friends sort his or her belongings. But this is not advisable for two reasons. First, one's possessions are important to him or her, and their dispo- sal should be taken care of by someone very close. This insures that any decisions about what to keep and what to give away will be made according to the wishes of the deceased. Second, sorting the belongings of a lost ioved one, is an important step in the grieving process for the surviving spbuse. By reviewing one last time the material things associated with the deceased, the spouse can fully recognize that he or she is gone, and can accept that.
